Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- There are several venue options under one roof. Well, make that “two roofs,” actually—Bass Performance Hall is only one part of a massive, beautiful performing arts complex. Nearly every area in the classically-designed buildings is available for rental, including the lobbies, green rooms, recital halls, and studio.
- The McDavid Studio, just across the street, is truly Instagram-worthy, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing spectacular views of downtown, a state-of-the-art sound system, and kaleidoscope-style lighting. Or, opt for the Van Cliburn Recital Hall, an incredibly versatile space with soaring ceilings, incredible acoustics, and a neutral color scheme that allows your vision to shine.
- Packages may be simple or elaborate. Rather than limit you to a preset group of services, Bass Hall’s pricing starts with your space rental only and lets you build from there. They offer just about anything you’d need—lighting, sound, bar service, etc.—and also provide tips on trusted local vendors.
